A BOLLYWOOD-themed dinner at an award-winning town centre curry house will form one of the final charity events for the Mayor of Northampton, raising money for Guide Dogs for the Blind.
The event, to be held at Saffron in Castilian Street, Northampton, on Monday, April 10 will see dozens of VIPs and invited guests come together to enjoy dishes from award-winning curry chef Bodrul Islam.
A raffle and prize auction, including a bottle of champagne personally signed by Prime Minister Theresa May, will help raise money for Guide Dogs for the Blind, the chosen charity of Mayor of Northampton, Councillor Christopher Malpas.
Saffron owner Naz Islam, who has helped raise more than £20,000 for local charities in the past two decades, said: “We are always keen to help support local charities and we are honoured to host the Mayor for this invitation-only event.
“It is a privilege to have the chance to cook for our guests and we hope to raise plenty of money for such a worthwhile cause.
“The Mayor’s own guide dog, Verity, will be coming along too and we look forward to welcoming her to the restaurant.”
The Mayor has already raised more than £14,500 during his 12-month tenure, enough to sponsor two Guide Dog puppies. The first one, Tilly, is already in training while a second puppy, Spencer, will start later in the year.
